Cashew Coconut Energy Balls Ingredients:
2 cups raw CASHEWS —check cashew nut prices on amazon
1 cup pitted DATES
1 Tbsp COCONUT OIL
1 Tbsp MAPLE SYRUP
1 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
¼ tsp SALT
½ cup SHREDDED COCONUT
juice and zest of 1 small LEMON
Cashew Coconut Energy Balls Directions:
You’ll need a food processor for this recipe. In fact, you can do the entire recipe in a food processor. However, my processor is pretty small, so I just use it for chopping up the cashews and dates. I do the rest of the mixing in another bowl.
Place the raw cashews in a food processor and chop for a few moments. Your cashews should be chopped fine. Then, add pitted dates and chop to same size.
Add coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the cashew/date mixture.
Zest one small lemon. Now, mince the zest and add it to the mixture.
Slice the lemon and squeeze all of the juice into the mix.
Mix thoroughly.
Shape the mixture into ball shapes. Make whatever size you like for snacking! I think grape size is best.
Next, roll the balls in shredded coconut to coat the outside.
And that’s it! Snack away!
The balls can be stored in the fridge until desired. In fact, they taste best right out of the fridge!
This super easy recipe makes a tasty treat. And it’s a great alternative to sugary candy bars and ice cream.
